Joel Peguero

Joel Peguero is a Bronze 69 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Giants, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Joel Peguero works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 53 Control, and 81 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Outlier I and Outlier II.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Joel Peguero's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Sinker (S). 3 of them grade S-tier, which is what separates a genuine out-pitch mix from a deep-but-flat arsenal. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Its 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball adds a velocity bonus on top. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.

On the Diamond Dynasty market, Joel Peguero currently buys for about 30 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 7%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Joel Peguero earns an OpScore of 65.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1943 among all cards and #202 among Relief Pitchers.

Live Series cards like Joel Peguero's are the ones Diamond Radar scores: it reads a player's real MLB production and predicts what the next roster update will do to the card — the predicted rating, the tier jump, and how likely the upgrade is. Ratings only move at a roster update, and not every Live Series card is scored in a given window. Model v11: of the 358 cards it scored 70 or above in its 3 graded updates, 69% were upgraded, against 17% by chance: 4.1× better.
